The weather and my schedule finally cooperated allowing my first visit to a flea market this year. I heard numerous sellers talking to others about how few weekends they'd been able to set up this year.
It was almost like an antique show - there was lots of old stuff to check out. I rarely have seen Starting Lineups at this flea market. Today at least 10 dealers had more than a box full of them. I bought a Jim Everett for $1.
There were lots of junk wax sets and miscellaneous 800-count boxes Some were as cheap as $5 per box. I didn't see any that I needed to have and carry around with me.
There were Wacky Packages, older cards, many dealers with beer can collections or comic books and a few dealers with older cards. Most had high prices of no prices listed. It did remind me that I would like to get the Wacky Packages. My mom didn't throw away my cards, but the stickers didn't survive. My fault on that since I didn't keep them in the closet with my cards.
Kellogg's cards - I saw none. I spent $1 total. I hope that doesn't happen when I go to the National.
Temperatures in my area have heated up... but my flea market finds have definitely cooled off as of late. I did find some Kellogg's at a card show a few weeks ago. I'll be posting them later in the week.
